Girraween granite

Girraween National Park, about 260km south-west of Brisbane, is a majestic place of granite wildness.

Girraween has grown on me steadily over the decades I’ve been visiting. I have many memories of time spent in this place, with friends, family, work colleagues or alone. Something new is revealed each time I visit. For a photographer artist, naturalist or walker it’s an ongoing revelation — a place where you can lose yourself in nature at it’s most dramatic. It’s always an inspiration for me.

I only made it there twice in 2014, but both trips were enjoyable.

Can there be a more exhilarating walk anywhere? Rob Mancini on the rocky walk to the top of the Pyramid. Nov 2014.

What’s this blog about?

I’m a naturalist and photographer living in Toowoomba, Australia.

In this blog I share photographs, and often the stories behind them, as well as images and writing from guests.

Nothing here is intended to be too academic, so you may stumble across errors in fact, grammar, punctuation, spelling and, heaven forbid, taxonomy. I'm hoping there'll be no errors in my use of apostrophes, as that would be unforgivable. Let me know if there's something that you feel cries out to be fixed.

More organised galleries of my photographs can be seen on my main website (see link above in the main menu).
